ABSOLUTELY ONE OF A KIND!! VINTAGE!! 1971 Ford F100 custom line long bed with a TIRE SMOKIN 390 BIG BLOCK with less than 10,000 miles on rebuild done by Advanced Engine Machine of Salina, KS. This truck is a BLAST to cruise around in or to PUT THE PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR SLAMMING THROUGH THE GEARS. The motor was done up right, nothing excessive just a MILD CAM with some cylinder head work, joined with an PERFORMANCE ALUMINUM INTAKE and HOLLY CARBURETOR. The roar of this beast is a DEEP THROATY SOUNDING EXHAUST with HEADERS running into 2 1/2" pipes, muffled with FLOWMASTER 40 series, finished off with down tubes right before the rearend.

As for the cosmetics of this HotRod - this truck is NOT A SHOW TRUCK I would call it a "10 footer" (looks great from 10 feet away) My Friend rebuilt this truck from the ground up with a whole NEW FRONT CLIP (fenders and hood) NEW WINDSHILED AND GASKET, CUSTOM STEERING WHEEL, TINTED WINDOWS, NEW DOOR PANELS, DOOR/WINDOW SEALS, The seat is a bench seat with a middle console from a newer truck, the bed has a SPRAY ON BED LINER. I have to admit the color choice is not one I would have picked but its green with some metallic flakes. In the right light you can see inconsistencies in the metallic flake. Also there are some runs in a couple areas on the roof of the truck. The wheels are American Racing with low profile radial tires with lots of tread life. I bought a spare tire for it when I was taking it on long trips (its never been used so its like new)

The truck is extremely reliable for an antique. I have taken it on multiple trips to Missouri (couple hours from here) never once had any issues. The one thing that does need addressed is the brakes. I took the truck out for the first time in months the other day and the brakes werent very responsive (probably just need bled because they worked great six months ago) Another thing that I have noticed is some signs of rust and a couple spots as shown in the photos. And one last thing the gauges on the dash weren't working this last time I took it out either (not sure what caused that) My friend INVESTED OVER $7,000 into this truck and I hate to part with it especially  since I bought it at a fraction of that price at $1500 but it has just been sitting and it needs to go to someone that can show it off and appreciate it. Feel free to send me a message with any further questions or photos. You will see there is also video posted so you can hear it run. I am not looking to get rich off this truck only interested in getting the money I have invested back so the RESERVE IS SET EXTREMELY LOW

Ford owns Automotive Loyalty Awards, Audi and Subaru are king of conquests

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

Customers are a commodity in the automotive industry, and like any other commodity, automakers trade them back and forth. Only nobody wants to give up their customers - just to keep the ones they have and try to attract others.
That's what the Polk Automotive Loyalty Awards are all about. Every year the industry research body names the automakers, brands and models that manage to keep their customers coming back for more - and attract buyers to switch from other makes. Ford usually does pretty well, but this year it rose above even its own track record.
Not only did Dearborn win the Overall Loyalty to Manufacturer award, but also the Overall Loyalty to Make. Ford also took the African American category, and the F-150 was named the top full-size half-ton pickup in customer loyalty. Ford COO Mark Fields (pictured above) accepted the awards and gave the keynote address at the awards ceremony.

Weekly Recap: Volkswagen moves forward under Muller

Sat, Sep 26 2015

Most stunning was the speed of it all. On the morning of September 18, Volkswagen AG stood atop the automotive world. It was profitable and sold more cars than Toyota and General Motors, its two main rivals for global supremacy. By nightfall, the company would be embroiled in scandal. Revelations the German auto giant cheated on diesel emissions testing in the United States reverberated from Washington to Wolfsburg, Germany. What started out as a problem with 482,000 VWs and Audis in the US exploded into an international scandal. Millions of vehicles have the rigged software, meaning VW broke environmental rules as its cars spewed pollutants all over the world. The fallout began immediately. Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn – one of the most respected and capable executives in the business – apologized on Sunday and Tuesday. On Wednesday he resigned. As the week progressed, the company's stock took a beating and credit agencies threatened to drop their ratings. VW dealers and owners said they felt betrayed. The automaker hired a law firm that defended BP after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The EPA is already extending its testing procedures to look for "defeat devices" like the ones used by Volkswagen. On Friday the company announced a major restructuring. Matthias Muller, Porsche's chief for the last five years, took over as CEO of Volkswagen and is charged with picking up the pieces of a shattered company facing regulatory action and lawsuits. With GM, Toyota, and Takata scandals still fresh, Volkswagen will likely experience unprecedented levels of scrutiny. Additionally, VW's markets in the United States, Canada, and Mexico will be combined into a North American region under the leadership of former Skoda boss Winfried Vahland, though US chief executive Michael Horn will stay on. The company is also realigning its brands by specialty and streamlining its board. Firings, government action, restructurings, and international outrage – things that usually build up over months or years – all occurred in about a week. With dizzying speed, Volkswagen's future has changed dramatically. It all happened, it's still happening, so fast. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Buick Cascada to start at $33,990 Buick hasn't made a convertible in 25 years. That's a whole person who can drink plus a kindergartner. So it's been awhile. Enter the 2016 Buick Cascada. It has top-shelf Opel engineering, slinky design, and it's reasonably priced.

'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia

Fri, Jan 16 2015

These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.
